1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionWe sought to determine whether patient and surgical factors are associated with the Press Ganey Ambulatory Surgery Survey (PGAS) satisfaction scores in patients undergoing outpatient upper extremity procedures.

methodsA retrospective review of a single academic urban hospital's Press Ganey database was performed for patients undergoing upper extremity procedures. PGAS scores above an a priori threshold were considered satisfied. Logistic regression analyses for the PGAS Total and Provider Scores were performed to determine the predictors of patient satisfaction.

resultsOf the 198 patients included, the mean age was 49.6 ± 17.1 years and 55% were men. For the Total Score, multivariable analysis showed significantly less satisfaction with continuous catheter peripheral brachial plexus nerve blocks (CC-PNBs) (odds ratio [OR], 0.37; P = 0.008) and internet surveys (OR, 0.39; P = 0.007), but smokers had surprisingly more satisfaction (OR, 4.90; P = 0.016). For the Provider Score, a multivariable analysis showed less satisfaction with CC-PNBs (OR, 0.45; P = 0.035), internet surveys (OR, 0.46; P = 0.026), and geographic location (OR, 0.40; P = 0.005). Preoperative Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System scores were not associated with the PGAS scores. DISCUSSION: Factors influencing satisfaction in patients undergoing upper extremity procedures may be modifiable (CC-PNBs and survey administration method) or nonmodifiable (geographic location) and may influence future reimbursement.
